could it be someone who plays the organ

i thought of a church organist but how about an organ grinder ?
with or without a monkey.

that could be a totally different word in French 

edit * hey goigle " tells me its a jouer de orgue

could a church organist be a full time job

looks like wilcoxon is on right lines researching the mother more could lead to a breakthrough . her grave or her marriage & maiden name .

dont think john could be a jones unless mother married twice + he took on stepfathers name .or was born to a single mother  before his parents were married

the Will specifically names him as john ROBERTS

dont think youve answered my questions re ann & pettigrews marriage certificate + witnesses
